The Scoop on Mum & Dad

Now lovely Reina tagged me so I thought I'd join in the fun and give you the lowdown on my folks. It's been fun reading everyone's interviews and details on their own family.

Here are my mum and dad. This was taken at the end of the night at a Christmas party, hence why they both look very drunken! There was a fake snow machine apparently, and that's what is floating around all over the photo.As you can see, both mum and dad are red heads, which means they can both have pretty fiery tempers at times! They are both pretty stubborn too. However, they love each other very much, so they never stay cross with each other for too long. Dad is 3 1/2 years older than mum, but I think he still looks pretty good for his age, hehehe. People usually think mum is a lot younger than she is, which she is always happy about! They aren't married (how shocking), but hopefully if they ever do tie the knot I can be a page boy at the wedding. I can wear a bow tie like the one dad has on in the photo!

Dad has 2 daughters. As I think you know, they come to see us every other week. They used to be quite scared of me as their dog is an old, very docile Border Collie and my puppy energy was a bit full on. Now they have realised that I only get excited for 5 minutes or so when they first arrive (well I haven't seen them for almost 2 weeks so of course I go a little crazy!). They play with me lots now and give me the best rubs and tickles. They now also have a new puppy of their own, another Border Collie, so now they get full on puppy fun 24/7!E is 6 and J is 4. They are both super smart. E is already a year ahead in school and still finds the work easy. J will start school in September and no doubt will be a little star too.

My mum works in finance and is studying to be a fully qualified accountant. She has a degree in European languages (French, Spanish and Catalan) and lived out in France (Lyon) and Spain (Barcelona) as part of her degree which she says was great. She has taught me French so I can talk to my Swiss Miss, the beautiful Faya. Mum enjoys reading, running, TV and films, cooking (and eating LOTS), languages and looking after and loving me and my fat cat sis Flakes. She has 1 younger sister.

My dad works with computers and IT, though I don't know what "it"is. He looks after the computer system for the company where he works, and also installs the software and hardware the company makes and sells in their customer's premises. My dad really wanted a Border Collie or a Welsh Springer Spaniel puppy, but mum has always wanted an Airedale and managed to persuade him. Guess she was the more stubborn one that time! He found me hard work at first as he was used to Border Collies who are very obedient, submissive and eager to please, but now he loves me lots (apart from when I try to knock his new aquarium over when looking at Mr Plec). Dad has 2 older sisters and 1 younger brother.

So there you have it. I didn't tell you much about Flakes, but because I am in a happy mood this week after my DWB win and obedience award success, I have said I might let her do a post later this week. It depends how nice she is to me so we'll see...LicksOscar x

Awww... thank you for sharing this with us Oscar! You mommy & daddy look soo cute together but they look even cuter when you're in the pictures with them too, hehehe! I'm glad to know that your hoomans decided to get you instead of a Border or a Springer Spaniel. I think you're smart! We ALL doggies are smart! It's just how much effort our hoomans put in to teach us stuff... right!? Hehehehe...

Hey Oscar,Thanks for sharing and 3.5 years difference is NOT old. Seriously, my mom is older than my dad too..*wink* Oops..not sure if I was supposed to leak that out.Is your Mom going to go into audit work or perhaps something else? My auntie is a CPA or something. Some accountant too.

Hi Oscar, great to read about your loving family. You really must be on a high right now! Congrats on the DWB award and for getting your Gold Obedience award, be sure to post pics of you receiving it on Wednesday. LicksJazz and Dixie

Hey Oscar, Your family looks really great. Your mom sounds really cool. Good to know that if you ever come to Montreal, you will be able to hob nob with the Quebecois pups, although your French will probably be far less slang.

hi oscar, i think your mommy is lovely; she looks like a movie star. and i had imagined that your daddy would be a little older and wider than he really is; he looks kinda cute too! now we know where you got your good looks from.:) i wish i had pretty siblings just like yours though.

what a truly lovely family you have, oscar! and it's no surprise that your girls are so smart, it seems to run in the family!

About Me

I'm an 13 month old male Airedale Terrier puppy. My name is Oscar (well, my KC name is Sherifs Sundance Kid but that's a bit much day-to-day). I live in the South of England with my humans & my sister Flakes the Big Fat Cat. I attend obedience classes which I absolutely love! I've been awarded my bronze, silver and gold certificates, so it's full steam ahead for my platinum now. I started agility training in June 2007. I love making new doggy and human pals.
